Bareboat Sailboats for Charter
As is known, you must have the necessary license to use a yacht in open seas. If you have this license, you can rent a yacht without a professional captain. This rental model is called a bareboat charter.
Of course, the whole thing does not just end only by chartering the sailboat. There are certain maritime rules that must be obeyed at the sea. These rules are for the safety of both you and the other mariners around you. We have tried to cover these issues in our article.
You need to book the marinas you will stay in advance. If you do not make a booking, you should inform the marina units before entering the port. We recommend that you take a notebook to write down notes before you contact the port authorities. Note down the instructions that will be given to you and repeat it for confirmation. You must comply with these rules for the safety of yourself and the boats around you.
One of the things you need to pay attention to after renting a bareboat sailboat is fuel consumption. You can save on fuel consumption on long journeys by taking advantage of the sailing feature of the craft, even if your fuel tank is full. Besides, when entering and leaving the marinas, engine power assistance is mandatory. This can bring some extra costs. For this reason, we recommend that you always sail in windy weather to save fuel.
You must make a cruise plan before departing for the blue voyage with your bareboat sailboat. This plan should include the marinas and bays that you will anchor at and the historical and sightseeing places to visit. Your pre-determined route and cruise plan will ensure both you and the boat’s passengers will make a safer and more comfortable journey.
In general, one of the matters that should be well known by the captain is the wind. If you are on the rudder, you should know the wind well. There are several helpful features on the boats that will give you ideas about the direction of the wind. One of these is the small feathers that are located on the sails. Feather is one of the preferred auxiliary objects in maritime because they are more sensitive to the wind due to their lightness. Another way of detecting the wind’s direction is the wave motion on the water. The wind is in the reverse direction of the waves. The direction of the wind can also be determined from the way that the seagulls fly. You may make wind checks by using these simple methods.
Regardless of the circumstances, the greatest responsibility and authority on a boat belongs to the captain of the craft. Therefore, once you have rented your bareboat sailboat, as the captain of the boat, you will be responsible for the safety of the crew and other passengers as well as their health.
So, we recommend you to ask for the finest detail of all the information about the boat while renting your sailboat. You should make the necessary checks and control the presence of health equipment, safety equipment, vests, boats and other equipment used for bad weather conditions, and you can ask your boat owner to provide the missing items.
Once all the inadequacies are complete and all the obstacles for sailing are gone, you can start enjoying your sea voyage and captaincy adventure by sailing into the blue waters.
Bareboat sailing is very affordable and is the cheapest among all boat types and rental models. This is due to the fact that sailing boats are cheaper than other boat types and that there is no crew cost for bareboat charters. It is possible to rent sailing boats with prices starting from 25 euro per person per day.
